Japanese metal pioneers Sigh have unleashed Goh-Ka upon the world. Out now, the band’s 15th studio album is already being hailed by some as their finest work yet, adding another landmark release to a legendary career that has seen them release 14 previous studio albums, three live albums and embark on multiple sold-out tours around the globe.
Goh-Ka is a new highlight of atmosphere, technical mastery, and meticulously arranged epics of metallic grandeur. Main-man Mirai Kawashima notes this as being as equally personal an album as Shiki, both musically and lyrically. From a musical perspective, if you were to place the main ingredients of Celtic Frost, Voivod, Black Sabbath, horror movies and Japan into a cauldron and stir it, you will get Goh-ka. Numerous additional spices such as psychedelic rock, prog rock and classical music are also evident over the album’s close to one-hour duration.
